Another wonderful meal at the NY Pasta Garden. Service was excellent and the food superb. If it is available try the artichoke appetizer and you won't be disappointed. Our waitress Donna was super attentive...prices were reasonable and actually quite a bargain considering the quality.

My husband and I stayed at Perry Hotel for five days and we ate here at least once a day. I had breakfast, lunch and dinner here and every single meal was excellent. Although a little pricey it was worth the price. I could have eaten every meal here and been satisfied. Fish dip was great, the blackened salmon was exquisite, the breakfast special and the burger. I will definitely be eating there on my next key west trip. Noa and Katie were both excellent and attentive servers. Dear SusanK3407, We are pleased that you enjoyed your experience at both the Perry Hotel and Matt's Stock Island Kitchen. Thank you for your review and sharing your experience with others. We look forward to serving you again !

This place is amazing!!! Everything is made fresh. They make everything in house. They have awesome specials each day. I ordered the soup of the day and my husband ordered the Cuban Panini special. Both were outstanding! My husband loves cafe con leche and he said this was the best he has ever had!! We finished with a sweet crepe of Raspberry jam,Brie and walnuts. It was so delicious!! The menu also contained many breakfast dishes, and lunches with a unique flare!!

5 couples ate dinner last week. One of the couples just bought a home on the key, we will be visiting a few times a year. The food was ok, incredibly overpriced for average courses The drinks Goombay drink was all water. Sitting on plastic Dollar Store chairs, picnic style tables Very confused on why this restaurant gets so many great reviews. Lastly, our bill was all on one check. No sub total per couple... all on one bill!!! So if you did not bring cash the one couple had to put the whole amount on their card ! WHAT??!! Itâs 2019 and your establishment can not separate a bill ? Terrible. So after our below average, overpriced dinner 10 people sat there determining how much they owe ..., tip, tax etc.... Absolutely will not return.

My wife is vegan, I'm not, so it's sometimes hard for us both to find some place we like. The Cafe was great for both of us.

We really enjoyed the burgers and tacos we purchased from this perma-food truck. Prices were very reasonable and a great option if your wallet needs a break from the not so cheap restaurants in Key West. Lots of outdoor seating and a little bar is located right next to the food truck that has a few fun beer selections on tap. We would certainly visit here again.

Prime Steakhouse offers the finest steaks in the Florida Keys! Whether a 24oz Bone in Rib Eye or a succulent Filet, grilled to perfection, Prime is the best kept secret in Key West. Tucked away in the Conch Harbor Marina above Dante's, settle into our int

Our first meal in Key West did not disappoint. On a recommendation from a bartender at the Casa Marina we made a reservation at Prime. We had requested an outside table, but when we arrived we decided we wanted to sit inside. After a very short wait they were able to accommodate us. The ambiance at this restaurant was fantastic. Our waitress Kim was so helpful explaining the specials and helping us customize our orders. The steaks were some of the best weâve ever had and the fish special was amazing! The sides are large enough to share and delicious! I would highly recommended Prime to anyone looking for a quality steakhouse while in the Conch Republic!

They would probably make anyone feel welcome, but it doesnât feel like the kind of place for a raucous group. The space is quite intimate, the menu is quite thoughtful, and the service is quite attentive. There are plenty of healthy, inventive breakfast options like shakshuka, quinoa pancakes, and matcha latte. And if youâre looking for something on the go, check the display for day-old baked goods, which they mark down to half price.
